This is what happens when you give greedy capitalists control over a basic utility that everyone depends on.

I was never sure you had no idea what communism was until now.  All this time I thought you were making a nuanced argument that involved mental gymnastics of connecting communism to the USSR/china/north korea to modern day leftists but now that you bring capitalist california into that realm, it turns out I was giving you too much credit. 

tecshare communism= any bad feature in society. 


This is a common tactic you use any time your retarded communist or socialist policies fail, you attribute the failure to capitalism and call for more of the same that caused the problem to begin with. What you are advocating for is the same as what happened in the USSR/China/North Korea, it is just the first steps a la Fabianism. The results will be the same. For fucks sake California even legalized openly Communist parties and illegal aliens running their government. If any state in the union is communist it is California.

Generators don't work too many hours in a row without getting damage, this increases the risk of fire so relying on them to pass the whole power outage is dumb.


Good point. Maybe this is the real reason why PG&E is doing the blackout. Their generators have been working too many hours in a row.

Cool

Don't get me wrong, I was talking about commercial generators that produce less than 12000W.

Example:
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_es_US=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Electric+generators

Kubota diesel generator will essentially run forever with:
- Amsoil oil
- Amsoil oil filter (or equivelent)
- Amsoil bypass oil filter
- Energy Release
- Proper air filtration
- Clean antifreeze for cooling
- Energy Release grease where grease is necessary

Amsoil is so good that years ago already, 18-wheelers were using 10W-40 full synthetic in the gear boxes of their transmissions. Why? Because the lighter weight caused less resistance, and gave them better mileage. And the 10W-40 full synthetic was a better lubricant than gear oil.

The Amsoil company is against the Energy Release company, considering them a form of competitor. But with Energy Release added to Amsoil, wear goes virtually to zero.

they think communism is "the government doing things" and not an economic system because that is what they were taught.

It's more than just an economic system. It's also the govt controlling/regulating almost every aspect of the citizen's lives.

Everyone living in a developed country hasn't experienced a power outage that lasts several days that's something different than a power outage that lasts hours.

I hope everyone in the California state that believes socialism is the answer to their problems, take this experience to change their mind

Anybody who has control like this either becomes a greedy capitalist, or becomes controlled by greedy capitalists. Socialism would fare the same or worse.

The answer is to create your own power, and not rely on something like PG&E.

Cool

Prevent wildfires? People with candles and gas lanterns when the lights go out is going to prevent wildfires?


California to shut down power for up to a WEEK in multiple counties to “prevent wildfires”



Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is about to preemptively turn off people’s electricity throughout California in anticipation of what the company says is an upcoming “severe wind event” – and for some customers, this intentional power outage could last upwards of a week.

According to reports, PG&E’s planned blackouts will begin in the early morning hours of October 8, and will affect as many as 800,000 PG&E customers in 34 northern, central, and coastal counties throughout the Golden State.

Another 100,000 Southern California Edison customers in eight SoCal counties will also reportedly be affected by these planned blackouts, as electric officials insist that this drastic move is necessary to “prevent wildfires” and keep people “safe.”

“What we’re working on right now is determining if and where we’ll need to turn off power in the interest of public safety,” stated PG&E spokesman Jason King to The Weather Channel, noting that only “portions” of the counties where it provides electric service will be affected.

“Our meteorology and our operations teams are monitoring conditions in real time,” he added. “(A) determination hasn’t (been) made yet what portions of each of the counties will be turned off.”

My facebook feed is full of posts about people desperately trying to find generators, or in need of water because their well pumps are no longer operational.  I'm seeing pictures of supermarket shelves sitting empty, and lots of folks claiming they're going to go solar as a result (not understanding that solar needs a functioning grid or battery backup system to function, and would thus be useless in this scenario).  It's an eye opener for how unprepared most people are to handle such a simple inconvenience even with a warning.  In a real crisis, things will likely get very ugly, very fast.

As someone who works for a power company the solution seems simple to me.   Bury the lines in conduit underground. 

Of course, due to the expense, this is not something the company would do voluntarily due to the massive expense but it is something that can be ordered by the state public service commission.  It would likely take a few years and result in rate hikes, but at the point where you are dealing with not having power for days, does it really matter?

Lot's of Californians already moved into their cars.  The power embargo shouldn't hurt them much.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
Why doesn't another company buy them out? A big company with a lot of clients goes bankrupt, go to their clients and give them an offer. Your bill goes up because they couldn't provide services at former price per KW or you are left with no power. Most of them would agree to pay more.

Is there really a ban on the generators in the US? I saw many videos of US residents buying old army generators. I also saw them retrofit fuel generators to run on natural gas. In the EU we can have generators and don't have to register or anything.
